FORD FIESTA2017 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 19 January 2026. This test at 46,203 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred earlier on 29 January 2025, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass after only 43 miles suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,134 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 34,924 miles and January 2024 at 40,224 miles, the car covered roughly 5,300 miles. This consistent low-intensity usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyre seals, or may cause brake discs to surface if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer most from low-mileage usage patterns. Given the lack of recorded advisories, check for surface corrosion on the brake rotors and the condition of the tyres, which may show cracking despite adequate tread depth. Although no structural corrosion issues were listed in the history, a visual check of the underbody remains standard practice for a Ford Fiesta of this age. The failure in the January 2025 test was not detailed in the record, so verifying that whatever caused the failure was properly replaced or repaired during that visit is advisable.
